What is NOT a CMA issue and what you should do?

The CMA is funded to deliver specific State and Federal Government projects. It does not have resourcing to respond to non-CMA issues. This page has been developed to provide the correct contact information for you to report issues directly to the correct agency.

Examples of non-CMA issues

• Issues on public land (i.e. Crown frontage camping, native vegetation removal, Crown water frontage licences). DELWP (refer to Crown land water frontage) 

• Trees on fence lines - if this is Crown land - DELWP or if a managed reserve, your local council.
• Instream vegetation (reeds and rushes): Waterway-Veg-Fact-Sheet-Instream-veg-FINAL-May19.pdf
• Riverbank erosion impacting on private infrastructure (ie. Private pump site). This is the responsibility of the asset owner to protect and any works will require a Works on Waterway Permit.
• Riverbank erosion impacting on public infrastructure (roads/bridges/boat ramps etc). This is the responsibility of the asset owner (eg. local council or Regional Roads Victoria).
• Stock and domestic water licensing (including dam) enquiries / issues (refer to Goulburn Murray Water).
• Potable water issues (North East Water).
• Rubbish in waterways – local council or EPA for pollution events
• Fish Deaths - EPA
